Thanks for the response. Thule seem to have moved quicker than I expected from their response to my query. I'll go with this, because I already have most of the necessary bits so I think it's just the new fitting kit at £25.00.
FWIW, the other responses I got from various manufacturers etc were:
Thule: No Customer Services email, so message sent to PR address. Replied after second email. Response to a phone call suggested that they would probably make a fitting kit sometime, possibly in a few weeks.
Not encouraging. I wouldn't use them if I hadn't already got most of the bits
Halfords: email to their Customer Services(!). Got an auto responder promising a reply in 5-7 working days, valuing my custom and appreciating my patience! Final response - Don't bother us, go to your local store.
With service like that, not likely!
The Roof Box Company. Auto response, but no reply.
Mont Blanc: Rapid response, apologised for not having a suitable solution, but said one would be available after the summer.
Maybe nothing available, but handled correctly
Automaxi: quick response. Their Silverline bars will fit. (this is from memory - I seem to have deleted the email)
Conclusion: I'll buy the Thule fitting kit, because (for me) it's by far the cheapest option. But from anywhere but Halfrauds or the Roof Box Company.
Otherwise from Mont Blanc (when available) or Automaxi, because they took the trouble to reply.
